Temporary freeze up

I've been having this odd problem lately. My PC will just freeze for a few seconds. The screen will freeze, and sound will freeze as well. I'm at a loss, and have tried a few things. I've updated drivers, and restarted numerous times. Any ideas?

Almost certain its related to my RAID array. This thing is a bitch. I'm going to disable it and see what happens.

Have you cleaned out the spyware? Defragged, all that basic maintenance?

RAID shouldn't be causing any kind of slowdown if it is configged correctly.

you have the RAID accelerator thingy installed?

It was the RAID PCI card. Something about it is on the fritz. I haven't really messed with it yet, just disabled it. I'll probably just start using the onboard RAID controller.

The onboard RAID might be flippin a birdie to the PCI RAID controller.

I don't know why it would act up now after working for about 9 months. But, I'm not gonna stress about it, I'll just use onboard.
